I pretty much always use a small blanket stitch, it is never bulky or heavy. I do not like satin stitch on appliqués. Once in a while I use a small zigzag. If the quilt is a wall hanging a small straight stitch can be used. ( Holly Taylor quilts are often straight stitched) . I can not quite figure out how a blind hem stitch would work. You could put together a small practice piece & try it.
